There are around 3 million street animals in Sri Lanka, many of whom suffer tremendously because of diseases, injuries, malnutrition and human cruelty. Most of these animals do not have access to veterinary care, nutrition or a safe place to sleep. 

Animal SOS Sri Lanka is a non-profit UK registered charity whose mission is to alleviate the suffering of stray animals (mainly dogs and cats) in Sri Lanka by providing life-saving veterinary care, rehabilitation, homing and refuge. It is a unique organization, as it is the only one that offers veterinary care at such a large capacity to Sri Lankan street animals. 

Animal SOS was founded in 2007 by Kim Cooling, who after witnessing the appalling plight of street animals in Sri Lanka, decided to take action to help them.

Currently, Animal SOS cares for around 2500 dogs, including dogs with special needs, and over 100 cats. Every day, we take in and treat animals that have been purposely abused, carelessly driven over and left to die and abandoned. It is a war zone inside Animal SOS, with daily missions to cook a ton (literally) of food, provide groundbreaking veterinary care, rehome young animals and fundraise to keep this project going.

Most of the dogs and cats living in the sanctuary are ready for families and homes. They just don't find enough in Sri Lanka.

However, Animal SOS has successfully homed some lucky animals overseas. Through this website, we hope we can home more dogs with loving individuals and families. 

So please, if you are looking for a new four legged family member, do consider adopting from and supporting the missions of Animal SOS.
